Supramolecular assembly of chromophores:the effects of nucleation kinetics on their molecular packing, fibre structure and light harvesting efficiency

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to reveal the effects of nucleation kinetics of chromophores on their molecular packing, fibre structure and energy transfer efficiency, which are significant to the design of low cost and lightweight materials for high efficiency solar energy harvesting. The knowledge to be acquired addresses the bottleneck governing the efficiency of a class of novel materials that mimic the natural light harvesting systems. It will bring about health, economic and environmental benefits to Australia. This project will foster multidisciplinary collaborations between world class research centres.
